Technology & IT
 

We live in a technology-based world. As everything gets faster, better and smoother, you want lawyers on your side who can keep up.

If you are a technology developer, whether hardware, software, life science related or manufacturing, you need to know that what you and your people create is yours. It seems very simple, but instances when others have – sometimes justified – claims to your work are all too common. While creating the winning technology is vital, making sure your ownership of it is established and protected is essential.

When you let someone else use your technology, whether your product is source code, a design or a drug formula, your main concern is that it is never misused. A licensing agreement will protect you from possible risks.

We have been working with technology-rich businesses, such as software developers, online traders, pharmaceutical companies, manufacturing companies and engineers for over two decades. We have witnessed the dramatic change in the way technology is developed, shared, used and licensed, and how the law has evolved to reflect this. A winning idea is half the success; solid business advice will take you all the way.

We can help you with software licences and distribution, outsourcing agreements, product development, website design and terms of use, through to patent and know-how licensing. And when things don’t go quite to plan, whether your patent is being abused or you are being accused of infringement or breach of confidentiality, you will want to know where you stand and the best course of action available to safeguard your business and reputation.
